The Student Achievement Measure is supported by six sponsoring associations, working together to provide a more comprehensive and accurate picture of student progress and completion as students move across institutions and state boundaries.

Thomas More College

Thomas More University is a small liberal arts university with a big reputation. TMU is consistently ranked by U.S. News and World Report as one of the best regional universities in the South, plus the University has been ranked #1 for return on investment in Kentucky four years in a row by PayScale.com. Founded in 1921 by the Benedictine Sisters as Villa Madonna College, Thomas More now serves more than 2,000 students from across the country and around the world on its beautiful Crestview Hills, Kentucky campus, located just minutes from downtown Cincinnati. Inspired by the Catholic Intellectual Tradition, we challenge students of all faiths to examine the ultimate meaning of life, their place in the world, and their responsibility to others.
